How is your day Today? Chat about your plans and achievements 2025....

I was telling the lovely lady from over the road that I've been suffering really badly with my feet.

She being a lady that you don't argue with told me, " Come on Tim, sit on the floor with your back up against the wall and your legs stretched out infront of you."
She then sat next to me, "OK, now with your heels hard against the floor, move both feet as far as you can to the left, then move them as far as you can to the right."

"You mean like this," I replied?

"That's it, Tim, let's both do it a 100 times." she said, smiling.

There we where wagging our feet back and forth when she muttered, "That reminds me, I must get new windscreen wipers on my car." 😊

Good morning to everyone, morning not going very well so far. I cannot get a doctor's appointment for my husband until who knows when. The morning appointments are gone until November. He wants morning but I guess we will have to decide about afternoon. My insurance won't accept a payment at this time online. I wonder about this.

My left ear is plugged up with wax and waiting for ear drops to work. Oh dear, it is not a good start to the day.

I hope things are going well for everyone. Enjoy your day. :)
 
It’s a bit after 7am, I’m in the tree for the next couple hours. It’s a balmy 57F and calm winds.

It’s about an hours walk from the truck to the tree, which includes fording the river. It was a bit of a sweaty walk w the high temps.

I cow call every few minutes to entice elk to come my way before they disappear into the bedding area for the rest of the day.
 
My weekly yard day. More clean up than usual due to wind storm and rain. I will be getting a later start due to the grass being too wet. Beautiful morning, sunny but cool and refreshing. My hubs had me read his results from yesterdays heart testing. It looks like moderate to serious Afib, but I told him not to get all worked up until the doc calls.

Glad to see Jeopardy has returned for a new season. I really enjoy watching it. The Floor starts later this month and I really got hooked on it from the get go. I am feeling good this fine morning, despite some aches and pains.

This is one of those times when search engines can be your friend. Took me less than a minute to find some suggestions, but not knowing specifics of your car not sure it would be helpful. When i search for things about my car i usually put 'year, make, model, the problem' and usually get helpful info.

My first question reading post was if automatic or manual transmission (and apparently Saab at some point developed a clutchless manual transmission?). Every car i've ever had car had to be in Park or Neutral to remove key depending on transmission type. Tho i just read it's recommended to put in manual in 1st or reverse and use the parking break. Last stick shift i drove was an early model so things may be different in newer models.
 
1. After six months of seeing what Osteomax has done for my senior horse with arthritis in his back, one hock , his RF leg and low ringbone in that same RF leg, I ordered the human version for myself.

An experienced horse person would recognize he is not 100% sound, but nobody else could tell he isn’t. This stuff has been as close to a magic bullet as it gets for him. My hope is that it slows down or possibly arrests the arthritis developing inside his hoof as that is an eventual death sentence. Yes, I know he’s old but he is NOT a commodity and his willingness to have been a winning show jumper for a teenager in his past has earned him the right to a retirement as pain free as I can give him.

1.1. I ordered a gallon of their human version for myself. If it doesn’t work, I will give it to my horse.

The company has credible research behind the product. It is not cheap and it tastes terrible, so that’s two more points in its favor.

2. My new eyeglasses are in, so that’s a trip to town, but not today.

3. Temps are starting to climb into the 90’s and stay there. The experts say that the humidity should not be anywhere near what it was the whole month of July. I hope they’re right - I can deal with the temperature. It’s the humidity that makes me crazy.
 
@feywon …yep. Got instructions from the owner of the car. Then googled it..then tried brute force. Nothing worked. What did work for my son was to lift up on this part on the stick and hold while putting in reverse. I have about 55 years of driving various sticks…but never have I had to do that. What was interesting was I had put the car into reverse earlier to get it out of a tight parking spot…so how that happened i will never know. I think this was a similar thing to what kept me from ever driving this car for the last 25 years….
 
@Imogene …i had a horse roll me along a fence when I was trimming his feet. This resulted in an injured shoulder…I could not lift my arm above shoulder height for about a year. I had a friend selling a horse formula glucosamine granule. I got some and within a month my shoulder was very much improved. Good luck…it might really work.
 
I have 4 drugstore COVID-19 kits and ran one, early this morning. Two very prominent lines showed...so I have the disease for now a second time. Yesterday, the sinus symptoms arose with sneezing. Then last night was maybe a 3 or 4 on a 1 to 10 unpleasantness scale. Slept over 10 hours with a down balaclava under a larger synthetic balaclava over my head. At least with rhinovirus infections, virus don't multiply easily if one's head is warm that is a reason fevers evolved. By this morning, sinuses much improved, so am about a 2 or 3 now. Hopefully, a sign it will just last a day or three.

I was one of the last to come down with COVID-19 and that occurred a month after catching an unpleasant case of influenza that lasted 4 weeks, while my immune system was weakened. Otherwise, since retiring in 2017, have not caught a single sinus head cold. Last COVID booster was at least 2 years ago.

Over the last couple weeks, had a couple bouts of slightly tender throat lymph nodes. May have been that was COVID-19 that kept trying to infect. Or just caught it at any of several music events I recently went to. Monday night was in an indoor roadhouse club venue with modest numbers of other people and Sunday was in San Francisco at a huge outdoor street art/food/music fair.

"The animals head for heavy cover after being struck by an arrow. There was an intense couple hours of tracking even though the animal only traveled 200 yards before expiring."

Hope you had a good reason to cause this animal to be tracked like a criminal, tortured before his expiration. @againstthegrain

I come from a family of hunters. It was not for sport, it was for food on the table.

While I never hunted a live creature, I can say that, where I currently live, the deer population inside a hundred mile radius of me is very heavy. More doe are birthing live twins than I have ever seen.

While the disease has not yet hit my county’s deer population, Chronic Waste Disease (CWD) has become a HUGE issue in many states— even my hunting friends on the OH/PA border say it’s becoming an issue.

Sadly, the deer need culled for their own health and to keep them from destroying farmers valuable crops. The way to do that is to go after the bucks. I don’t like it and you don’t have to like it, but it has to be.

What I won’t do on this or any forum is look at the fotos. I know it has to be done and I hope those forum members who are hunting are doing it for the right reasons. -

That all said I have ten on my property, including a buck. I have horses. nobody is allowed to hunt on my property, unless they want a bullet in their kneecap. — yes I am still that good of a shot ——

Wouldn’t the general public just be surprised at the crossover medicines between horses and humans?😂😂
 
@hearlady Our Aldi did have the Ladies Loungewear (with pockets!), but it's a different and lighter fabric than last year's. They even had them in red. The bad news is that there was one...exactly one...pair in a small, and they were black and had the hood. Nope. They run big. Last year I got the medium, and should have got the small.

Of course, no mums. I'm wondering if it's because we're so far south. The ones I've seen posted on the AOS page on FB were from places like NewYork, PA, and Wisconsin.
